Risky Business
...and speaking of breakthrough roles: who can forget the first time we saw Tom Cruise singing Bob Seeger in his underwear? Often considered an updated 1983 version of The Graduate, the movie sparkles with memorable lines and original music. I only regret that I was never told that "Princeton could use someone like Bob..."
See the movie first and join us for some "Cruisin'"

Rave Curious? Jessica Audiffred @ Otherworld
Have you always wanted to check out a raveโฆ but didnโt know where to start?
This is your chance.
Whether you're a seasoned headbanger or completely new, weโd love to have you out.
On April 11, Jessica Audiffred is taking over Otherworld โ and this is *not* your typical venue. Itโs a massive immersive art space filled with surreal rooms, hidden passages, and interactive exhibitsโฆ and for this show, almost all of it is open.
So youโre not just going to a concert โ youโre stepping into an environment:
๐ง A high-energy bass set that you *feel*
๐ A labyrinth of trippy, explorable art spaces
๐ฏโโ๏ธ A group to go with so youโre not figuring it out alone
You can lose yourself in the crowd, disappear into another room, find something completely unexpected, and then come back right as the drop hits.
No pressure, no โright wayโ to do it โ just explore, move, and take it in at your own pace.
๐ Otherworld, Columbus
๐ April 11
๐ Doors open at 10:15 PM (music does not start in the exhibit space until 10:30 PM.)
If youโve been even a little curious about what this scene is like, this is one of the most unique ways to experience it.
RSVP if youโre in ๐
Thereโs no cost to attend with the groupโjust the event ticket for Otherworld. Tickets are $40, plus some fees ๐.
You can use code "BassBuds" or "Bangers" for $5 off, which makes it \~$43 out the door.

Drunken
This month's prompt concerns the idea of the โwarrior philosopherโ (seemed appropriate in these times)--that is someone whose understanding of violence, power, and justice is forged through direct experience of war. We are looking at Major General Smedley D. Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine raised in a Quaker (pacifist) tradition who later became a prominent critic of American militarism (there is a wonderful biography of Gen. Butler called "Gangsters of Capitalism")
Butler's argument in *War Is a Racket* (1935): that many U.S. interventions were driven less by national defense than by corporate and financial interests, with Butler portraying himself as an enforcer for business and Wall Street. We can consider the moral ambiguity of his insider critiqueโwhether complicity strengthens or undermines credibility and also consider some of the concrete reforms he proposed (e.g., โconscriptโ capital before soldiers, restrict the military to coastal defense, and have only those who fight decide on war).
Butlerโs life arc clearly changed from pacifist upbringing to warrior to antiwar crusaderโand asks whether true understanding of peace requires firsthand knowledge of war, and what that implies about the cost of suffering. So do we need to suffer to understand suffering? Do we have to experience war to appreciate peace? As one more question: in the movie "A Few Good Men" Jack Nicholson's character says that "you have the luxury of not knowing what I know" so do most of us go through life oblivious to real violence and suffering? See you at Drunken Philosophy!
Powell Gold Star Referral Club Meetup
We meet at lunch each week and each meeting follows a fairly organized agenda. First all participants pass their business cards around. Then each member and guest is invited to give a one-minute overview of their company and what is a perfect referral for the week. We always have a 10 minute presentation from one of the members about their business in more detail. And finally we pass referrals. You're welcome to visit. Nobody is ever put on the spot. Bring plenty of cards!
